Ecological Benefits

Benefits of Onsite Rainwater Infiltration

Localized Climate & Social Ecology

• Keeping water onsite increases vegetation
• Increase in local vegetation humidifies and cools the air in the summer months by way of evapo-transpiration from the surrounding soil and vegetation.
• Shade provided by vegetation reduces in house temperatures and outside soil temperatures.
• Cooler temperatures reduce the need for air cooling devices thus reducing energy demand and use.
• Carbon dioxide is absorbed from the atmosphere because of increased vegetative growth.
• The rate of climate change is reduced due to less greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
